blender/doc/python_api/epy/IDProp.py
Luca Bonavita 996efebbe3 == python api doc ==
First commit to make some structure in doc/ directory.

- moved source/blender/python/doc -> doc/python_api
- moved source/gameengine/PyDoc/*.rst -> doc/python_api/rst
- modified accordingly sphinx_doc_gen.py and sphinx_doc_gen.sh
  (later on I'll try alternative/ scripts by neXyon as promised :)
- source/gameengine/PyDoc/ is still there because contains epydoc stuff for the bge, will ask more and look into it later

class IDGroup:
"""
The IDGroup Type
================
This type supports both iteration and the []
operator to get child ID properties.
You can also add new properties using the [] operator.
For example::
group['a float!'] = 0.0
group['an int!'] = 0
group['a string!'] = "hi!"
group['an array!'] = [0, 0, 1.0, 0]
group['a subgroup!] = {"float": 0.0, "an int": 1.0, "an array": [1, 2],
"another subgroup": {"a": 0.0, "str": "bleh"}}
Note that for arrays, the array type defaults to int unless a float is found
while scanning the template list; if any floats are found, then the whole
array is float. Note that double-precision floating point numbers are used for
python-created float ID properties and arrays (though the internal C api does
support single-precision floats, and the python code will read them).
You can also delete properties with the del operator. For example:
del group['property']
To get the type of a property, use the type() operator, for example::
if type(group['bleh']) == str: pass
To tell if the property is a group or array type, import the Blender.Types module and test
against IDGroupType and IDArrayType, like so::
from Blender.Types import IDGroupType, IDArrayType.
if type(group['bleghr']) == IDGroupType:
(do something)

@type name: string

def pop(item):
"""
Pop an item from the group property.
@type item: string
@param item: The item name.
@rtype: can be dict, list, int, float or string.
@return: The removed property.
"""
def update(updatedict):
"""
Updates items in the dict, similar to normal python
dictionary method .update().
@type updatedict: dict
@param updatedict: A dict of simple types to derive updated/new IDProperties from.
@rtype: None
@return: None

def keys():
"""
Returns a list of the keys in this property group.
@rtype: list of strings.
@return: a list of the keys in this property group.
"""
def values():
"""
Returns a list of the values in this property group.
Note that unless a value is itself a property group or an array, you
cannot change it by changing the values in this list, you must change them
in the parent property group.
For example,
group['some_property'] = new_value
. . .is correct, while,
values = group.values()
values[0] = new_value
. . .is wrong.
@rtype: list of strings.
@return: a list of the values in this property group.

def iteritems():
"""
Implements the python dictionary iteritmes method.
For example::
for k, v in group.iteritems():
print "Property name: " + k
print "Property value: " + str(v)
@rtype: an iterator that spits out items of the form [key, value]
@return: an iterator.

Converts the entire property group to a purely python form.
@rtype: dict
@return: A python dictionary representing the property group

The IDArray Type

@ivar type: returns the type of the array, can be either IDP_Int or IDP_Float
